A Proverb a Day Keeps the Police Away! Join me as we read through the book of Proverbs in the Message Version this month! What would you do if your doctor showed up to surgery with a stiff drink in one hand and a scalpel in the other? I would say it's time for a new doctor!
This chapter really focuses on the consequences of foolishness. The warnings we often pay the most attention to in Scripture are those that have to do with wickedness, but Proverbs warns us that foolishness can be every bit as destructive as wickedness. Sometimes even more so! Today's reading is packed full of wisdom, insight, and good instruction for living to keep you on the right path! I'm not pushy or preachy, I'm just glad that you are here!

In Proverbs 26, there is a concentration of verses on foolishness and its consequences. The speaker in the conversation then goes on to explain that Proverbs warns us that foolishness can be just as destructive as wickedness, and can sometimes be even more so.
The speaker encourages the listener to pay attention to these warnings, as they can be very helpful in avoiding foolishness and its consequences. The speaker then encourages the listener to dive into Proverbs 26 and see what it has to say about being a fool.
